Curated OER
Measurements
Seventh graders solve word problems involving real world situation. In this geometry instructional activity, 7th graders solve problems related to volume. They apply the formulas taught in geometry.
Curated OER
A Cylinder and Its Net
Pupils sketch the nets for given polygons and cylinders. In this geometry lesson, students find the measurements that correspond with prisms, cones and cylinders. they identify parts of three-dimensional shapes.
Curated OER
Surface Area
Students calculate the surface area of cubes, solids and cylinders. In this geometry lesson, students define the surface area formulas for different prisms. They calculate the surface area with 100%, and 80% accuracy.
Curated OER
Make a Box
Learners use specific dimensions to create a box. In this geometry lesson plan, students analyze the different properties of two and three dimensional shapes. They make conjectures and use it to solve problems.
Curated OER
Using Concept Maps to Design 3D Spheres
Students create three dimensional shapes using concept maps. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the impact of mental schemas on humans. They collect data on this topic and plot their data on a coordinate plane.
Curated OER
ndirect Measurement Technique: Using Trigonometric Ratios
Ninth graders find the height of an object that would be difficult or impossible to measure directly. They construct and use a Clinometer to measure the angle of elevation (or depression). Students create a sketch of the measurement...
Curated OER
Penny's Box
Students need to be able to calculate the volume and surface area of a cuboid as well as present a systematic list of results in order to justify the minimum case. The use of three factors of 100 is also important.
Curated OER
Fences and Posts
Fifth graders use Geoboards to demonstrate how shapes can be made by looping the rubber bands over the nails. They make a triangle on their Geoboards. At least one side of the triangle should be either horizontal or vertical. The picture...
Curated OER
Around We Go
Fourth graders investigate a range of circles, each with a different radius, diameter and circumference and assemble this information in their search for relationships.The measurement of circles and the relationships to be found within...
Curated OER
Bill's Badge
Students explore the making of circles and concepts related to them in geometry. The project is inquiry based will focus upon students making their own nametags. The construction is ideal for hands on students.
Curated OER
Dream Bedroom Floor Plan
Students construct using Cabri software. In this geometry lesson, students convert between units and apply the correct measurements to build objects. They create the room virtually and manipulate the shapes to the desired measurements.
Curated OER
Examining Geometric Solids
Young scholars explore geometry by completing a math worksheet in class. In this shape identification lesson, students identify the characteristics associated with 15 solid geometric shapes. Young scholars identify patterns between...
